The History of the Song Dynasty That Can Be Understood at a Glance (revised Edition)
About This Novel
The Northern Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era of economic and cultural prosperity in ancient Chinese history, and was called China's Renaissance by many Western historians. During this period, Confucianism was revived, and the literary world of the Northern Song Dynasty gathered together with stars, such as Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Che, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Yan Shu, Yan Jidao, Fan Zhongyan, Liu Yong, Huang Tingjian, Zhou Bangyan... It is no wonder that some people say that "since the Qin Dynasty, literature has not flourished in the Song Dynasty." Why does this happen? It is probably due to Zhao Kuangyin's national policy of "emphasis on literature and suppression of martial arts". But this has a big drawback, that is, the military is not strong, and it is always at a disadvantage when facing the Liao and Xixia in the north. The "Chanyuan Alliance" only relieved the pressure on the Northern Song Dynasty, but the military laxity directly led to the "Jingkang Disgrace". The Jin Kingdom captured Bianliang, and Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were both captured. The Song Dynasty had to move south to Hangzhou to establish its capital, and this was the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
